Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (1.0 g) and 10% palladium on carbon (100 mg) in methanol was stirred for 2 hours under 3 atmospheric pressure of hydrogen. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 4-amino-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (910 mg) as an oil.
